Duke Gardens, flying kites

Momma bribed Cooper to get this one...like a boss!

So handsome!

Another one of my favorites right now of Sammy...check out the action face!

Sam is saying, "Cheese!"  He says it every time he sees my phone out, too cute.

Flying a kite

So much fun

And some soccer with Dadda

Checkin' out what mayhem he can get into

So far, so good!

We have had many adventures this week!  Sammy started things off with a great nap and a "Seriously, mom, I have been awake for 30 seconds...I know you can see me!" look.

We picked Cooper up early from school on Wednesday and headed to the Durham Bulls baseball game.  It was a scorcher, 86 degrees, so the return of the sun hats was necessary.

Sam had fun...he is clapping.

Coop and Dadda

Coops with Wooly Bully

Both my boys picked up some new gear, matching hats!

And today, it was off to the zoo in Asheboro.  It was only 73 degrees so we enjoyed our time there.  Probably one of my new favorite pics of Sammy.

On the tram, before seeing all of the animals, Sam is a little skeptical...

So excited...and soooo handsome!

Always a favorite, the helicopter


Mom was there

Coop and Dad posing with the elephants

And all the boys on the rhino

One of Coops favorite exhibits, the baboons.  He liked the pink butts!

And the flamingos were a hit as well...a fun day at the zoo!

Our weekend

Coop catchin' up on some train playing while Sam naps

I walked into this...Coop teachin' little bro a thing or two

Coop spent the rest of his birthday gift card from grandma Judies, aunties and uncles from Chicago.  His pick...a John Deere dumper.  And yes, he slept with it that night!

Seriously?!?!  Like a boss...

Even cuter...

And we went to the North Carolina Transportation Museum on Sunday...Coop was in heaven!

Everything he loves all under one roof...trains, planes, cars, momma, dadda and even Sammy

My baby

So happy


Sam, missing his nap, but hanging like a trooper



And some post museum reading, Sam loves any book he can touch and feel

We also went to a UNC baseball game this weekend.  It was packed, standing room only so we left early and found plenty of things to keep our attention.  Spring football practice gear...

And the track.  Cooper kept wanting to run and he busted out a mile (yeah a mile) on that day.  He met the guy he was running next to and they ran together for awhile, he loved to race!  It was awesome!  Mom and Dad were so proud!

The end

The weather is beautiful

Coop ready to do some hunting

Kinda

Sam growing up right before our eyes

Coop got to sit in a real fire truck today right before bedtime...he ran an errand with dadda and scored big time!

Tar Heel Blue!

March Madness, the Easter Bunny and a haircup

A little out of order but here is Sammy's latest 'haircut', courtesy of DAD not mom.  I went to the grocery store, I came back to this...

Here is a before, just for reference....

and yes here again, after.  Good thing that little guy is so handsome!

What are ya gonna do, huh?

We spent the better parts of the last 2 weeks watching some basketball...

Coop had the best seat in the house

And he was able to stay up a little past his bed time so it was a win win for him

Mom and dad do not even know what I am capable of back here...

Sam, just happy to be here

Ahh, that hair!

Dad givin' love

Sammy and momma

And our friend the Easter Bunny.  Cooper looks forward to the Easter Bunny visits but this year he would not look at the Easter Bunny or sit too close.  He did bring a book for the Easter Bunny to read to him.  Earn your $$, EB!

BFF's

Sammy did not love the Easter Bunny and stayed far away!

Easter Morning, VERY early...basket found!

Coop has this stuff down!

Sammy does, too!
